Mariana Avram - Domestic Supervisor

Mariana does a great job of keeping FMN spic and span!

She works hard to keep up with all the children, the laundry, helping the children at bath time, cleaning the center and Katartizo, and still makes time to teach the children their responsibilities in cleaning as well.

Mariana works hard to get Katartizo prepared for each team that comes to stay, and makes sure their stay is comfortable is clean. We are thankful for Mariana.

Anisoara Zah - Center Manager

Anisoara is our newest employee, as Center Manager she co-ordinates the day to day running of the activities and programs with the children who come daily to the Isaiah Center.

She does an amazing job of communicating with staff, organising lesson plans, daily activities, and everything else that is needed to provide a place of refuge and love for the Roma children that come to the Isaiah Center.

The children and their families love Anisoara and she has quickly integrated into the FMN family in Romania.

We are so thankful for all she does to ensure love and acceptance are shown to the families we are involved with.

Mariana Iova - Psycho-Pedagogue

Mariana has taken on a very special role, as primary care giver to our boy Alex who has Down’s Syndrome.

Alex was one of the first children Rachel worked with in the hospital, and he is precious to the whole FMN team. He requires extra one to one care and attention, to take care of his day to day needs, and also to help him develop for the future.

Mariana entered this role with a degree in Psychopedagogy and many years of experience working with people with disabilities. Using this experience she takes care of Alex and has implemented many strategies and additions to his daily program with us, that have helped accelerate his development hugely in just a few months. He bonded with Mariana from the first moment she joined the team, and already hates when she has to take vacation breaks from work.

As well as working with Alex she has developed relationships with all the children who come daily to the Center, and helps the rest of our team of staff whenever needed.
